the initial wave of state polls showed romney doing pretty well in the battleground states. in the rasmussen polls over the last two days, obama is doing better. that's consistent with the trend i talked about earlier. the question is whether obama gets an outsized bounce in states like ohio, nevada and iowa where he was doing better than nationally. if you look at all of the national polls conducted since the first debate, what you see is about a three point gain for romney. if that holds and if that uniformly filtering down to the battleground states, romney would still trail in iowa, ohio and alabama and obama would have a slight advantage ♪ electoral college. >> continuing our theme of what really matters, let's talk about the polls. obviously, polls don't vote. but do they sway the electorate? do they see one person as leading or gaining and some people decide to change their vote? is there some science on do polls actually shape the election itself? >> i don't think there's very much evidence that polls shift the election. if they did, i think we would see, you know,

the reality is that governor romney has been searching for a foreign policy narrative in position and world view since the campaign started. his positions seem to bob and we've depending upon which advisers are speaking to him or where the polls might be going. on libya as near as i can tell the governor's had five different positions. monday's speech may count as the sixth. the one definitive step that he did take was to hold a press conference hours after the death of the u.s. ambassador there. before the facts were known, before all the families were notified, the governor -- sensing a political opening -- took to the airwaves to condemn u.s. embassy staff in cairo. he's been trying to play cleanup ever since, and monday's speech was no different. on afghanistan after complaints and outrage about the president's timeline for transition, governor romney did the unthinkable, he set a timeline for transition which coincidentally happens to track with the president's. governor romney said on monday, quote: i will pursue a real and successful transition to afghan security forces by the

the latest polling shows mixed results. the pew poll has romney up by four. gallup's daily tracking has the president up by five. what does that mean? >> yeah, first of all, you know, you always take one poll in isolation or even two can be problematic. the best thing always on these is to look there's a few sites that do polling averages, real clear politics, "huffington post," they average all the different polls and put them together. if you want to look at these two right now, they might kind of both be true and it's because of this. the gallup one measures seven days. it's still got a number of predebate days there when oen was ahead. it's got the immediate post debate when romney seems to have pulled even or taken the lead in the two or three days immediately after. >> immediately after. >> what gallup also showed apparently in the last day that's included in the seven days, there was ho movement back towards obama. there was an end to the movement toward romney. so that's why he went from three ahead in the seven-day track yesterday to five ahead in th
